Is a secure country estate nestled in the midst of gardens, fruit trees, green areas and beautiful views. Our three cottages are the perfect place to establish your home base
while visiting Costa Rica.
The estate is just 15 minutes west of the international airport near the small town of La Garita in Alajuela on route 3 and 4 miles away from route 27. Route 27 will take you to Guanacaste or Jaco or Manuel Antonio, We are now at 1 hour and 10 minutes from Jaco (real time), about 1 hour from Poas Volcano and Water fall gardens.
We offer for your enjoyment our swimming pool and poolside BBQ, which is a warm and
friendly spot to kick back and enjoy playing cards or just plain relaxing. Wire less internet available.
We are located 200 yards off route 3, in a gated, guarded property, on the direct bus route to San Jose where you can catch a connecting bus to anywhere in Costa Rica.

Alex and his family and the staff were very kind and welcoming. The house is gorgeous with a pool, jacuzzi, sauna and large kitchen. It's a quiet area but very close to downtown Atenas! It sometimes is uncomfortable to be traveling alone as a female and they made me feel part of the family. I had a great time there and will definitely be going back since I live in a nearby area. Alex y su familia y el personal era muy amable. La casa es preciosa, con una piscina, jacuzzi, sauna y una gran cocina. Es una zona tranquila pero muy cerca del centro Atenas! A veces es incómodo para viajar sola como una mujer y me hicieron sentir parte de la familia. Me lo pasé de maravilla allí y sin duda volvere.

Getting to the place is quite easy, very close to the airport and to no beaches and other attractions in the Central Pacific of Costa Rica. The apartment was well equipped, very comfortable and clean, despite some "bugs" and insects. The area is very quiet, however one of the nights some neighbors had a party with karaoke until 12 midnight, but it is not the accommodation's fault. Very nice green areas. We really enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi and although we did not use the grill, nor the sauna nor the ranch, it is an excellent choice. Nearby is the town of Athens where you can eat very well in a restaurant called "Antaño". Not far away is the Garita where is the Corn Festival or La Casona del Maíz, which are good options for breakfast typical of Costa Rica. In general, we highly recommend the stay.

My husband and I recently stayed at la Casa Verde. We were able to find it through our Airbnb app the morning of, and Alex had everything ready for us to check in the same evening. It was a little difficult to find, we ended up driving by a few times while backtracking to start over from the beginning. We should have trusted the directions (they were spot on!) but it was dark and we ended up second guessing ourselves. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed and given a tour of the property. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, complete with a large pool, hot tub and gazebo surrounded by beautiful gardens. It would be the perfect place for a friend's get-together or family trip, and we wish we had more time to enjoy everything! In the morning, we awoke and enjoyed our coffees with our feet in the pool before having to head off to the airport. It was a short stay, but worth it. Overall, Casa Verde is a great location and a hidden gem. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful place with pool and jacuzzi! The design is beautiful, which makes sense since the hosts are architects. Quick drive to Atenas. We ended up having to switch rooms due to a reservation conflict. Alex reimbursed us some money though and was eager to make our stay comfortable. Recommended!

We had a great stay here - our hosts very gracious and accommodating. The location is beautiful and perfect proximity to the airport while still feeling like a retreat. Unfortunately we could't get the hot tub or sauna to heat up enough to use, but we enjoyed the delicious breakfast poolside. Would definitely stay again!

Very nice and clean studio apartment
- in Los Angeles de Atenas, only about 3 km (approx 2 miles) to the center
- quiet location with marvellous panoramic view to the Central Valley (the chain of volcanoes with Poas and Barva volcano in the background and a sea of city lights and night) on one side and the little coffee town Atenas on the other
- the 7000 m2 property is directly adjacent to a small protected area
- shared use of the beautiful pools
- secure Parking
- attentive personal assistance, if desired (owner runs travel agency specialized in Costa Rica tours and is willing to share infos about the country's gems).
- Pet-friendly tenants particularly encouraged (there are 5 dogs on the property)

very quiet, wonderful views, friendly and nice neighbours

Sylvia made me feel very welcome. The description and the photos were very accurate. Sylvia was very helpful with letting me know places to go see and transportation ideas.

A beautiful place. Stayed for a month. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was as represented. The views are spectacular. Sylvia and her daughter are terrific hostesses and their caretaker, Jorge, is an absolute gem. I did not have a car and was able to make do, but for people not in good physical shape, I would recommend that they have a car. 5 star + stay.

Our experience with our host Sylvia, her daughter, and her family of fur babies was excellent. We greatly enjoyed the peace and quiet of her studio. The pool was great and the view from the deck was amassing especially at night. A most enjoyable stay.

Ileana was the up most friendly and helpful hostess. Her mother and her were so nice. The place was as described on the airbnb page and more. She went out of her way to help on exploring Costa Rica. Great attitude clean place and the restroom was so clean and nicely fixed. I would highly recommend her place. Hopefully I will get to see them again. Thank you so much ileana.

Nestled in the lush mountains of Costa Rica's Central Valley, Casa de Bell is an unforgettable vacation rental property located in the quaint village of Atenas, along the historic road to Jaco Beach, just 26 miles west of the capitol city of San Jose.
With its mango, coffee and sugar cane plantations, the fertile Central Valley is home to two of Costa Rica's six active volcanos: Irazú, the largest and highest in the country, and Poás, whose ash and shadow are responsible for the country's most delicious coffee. Perched atop a breathtaking bluff in the heart of the Roca Verde gated community, Casa de Bell offers 360-degree panoramic views of the entire Central Valley, while being less than an hour away from both the beach and the buzzing metropolis of San Jose.
Casa de Bell is only a ten-minute walk from the bustling farmers' markets, boutiques, gardens and cafés of Aténas. With less than 5,000 year-round inhabitants, the town of Atenas (Spanish for "Athens") provides a calm, peaceful, pastoral ambiance--the quintessential slice of Costa Rican life. Atenas is globally recognized for having one of the best climates in the world. The words "el mejor clima del mundo" are emblazened on every local bus--a valid claim, as daily temeratures hover around 80 degress, dipping into the 60s at night. The temperate climate and friendly atmosphere of Atenas attract those in search of tranqil, small-town life.

We stayed for a month at Casa Bell, and it suited us perfectly. As others have said, the pictures and description are completely accurate. The property manage, Pete, looked after us, checking in regularly and keeping on top of things. We had a car and we're glad we did, because the Casa is on top of a steep ridge that we wouldn't want to walk too often. Georgeous view to San Jose by both day and night. Comfy Layzboy chairs in the living area. Weekly maid/laundry service included. Great value at the price.

This is an ideal location for a couple (or one person) who want to relax and enjoy the great views, comfortable accommodations, and some peace and quiet. Keith was very prompt in making the initial arrangements, and then Pete and Stef (the property managers) looked after us very well throughout our entire 6 week stay. The house is very clean, very safe and very comfortable. We loved the views across the Central Valley both at night and during the day. All appliances worked great, the pool was clean and refreshing and we had good solid internet throughout. For any birders, we saw 61 species just on or from the property. The only consideration for anyone staying there is you need a car to get into town, or you can call a taxi (2,ooo colones each way) into town for groceries. The comfort, view and overall atmosphere was wonderful and we hated to leave after 6 weeks.

These are some of the nicest people you will ever meet! Our Spanish is very basic but we had no problems communicating with our host and his family. The apartment was clean and comfortable and birdwatching from the balcony was spectacular. Although the small kitchen was equipped with all the necessities, we paid extra for meal preparation and Nidia was an excellent cook. El Rodeo is a great escape from the tourist areas where you can experience real life as a Tico. You will not regret staying here and we highly recommend it. We will definitely return!

Discover this clean, fully furnished apartment within walking distance of downtown Atenas. Enjoy your coffee and the view from your balcony and, on occasion, hear the calls from a local troop of howler monkeys.
In respect for neighbors, loud music/noise is not allowed.

This is an upstairs apartment towards the back of the property and away from the street.

Walking distance to downtown Atenas. Small vendors selling fruits, vegetables, fish, meet and other foods are closer. Once in town, their are several supermarkets where you can get almost anything you might need. There are also pharmacies, good doctors and dentists - ask for recommendations.

A great place in the country side with hills of green. Beautiful birds and butterflies. The apartment is very spacious and has everthing you need to feel at home.

The apartments are ok. a bit out dated but for Costa Rica still really nice. the place if for sale and the owner is not there, has really nice care takers, you must speak Spanish other wise nothing can be arranged as they only speak Spanish. The resort is in a minimum maintenance state, the pool is nice, the waterslide was turned on once during our 12 days there. not many guests around in March which is nice. We had to leave early as we had people downstairs who smoked on the balcony, I am asthmatic we could not stay longer. Also if everybody runs the A/C its is really loud. The view is really nice. the main road is going past the property and the cars and trucks starting at 5.30 am until 11 pm endless traffic and very noisy at times. There is no cleaning service available, and you need to maybe buy some stuff for the kitchen if you start cooking. we bought some good knives and a scissor. The washing machine is perfect. Bring your own pool towels and some shower towels, hand towels and face cloth, cleaning cloth.

Jeffrey was an amazing first host for us in Costa Rica! He was warm and helpful, and gave us so many helpful tips, including secluded places to sight see and awesome local restuarants! This is a very convenient stop if you have a car and are driving around to places near Alajuela! It was conveniently located close to Poas and right by the major highway.
